The counts describe a saved catalogue. Check the source for current files and terms.

This report examines the catalogue entry for ANCAP.

The saved export records 60 datasets and 1,117 listed format declarations.

The evidence describes 2026-08-30. It supports a comparison of catalogue contents, but not a claim about subsequent growth.

The main format pattern

The largest normalized label is JSON. It appears on 400 resource records.

This represents 35.8% of the listed format declarations.

The two largest labels account for 67.7% of that total.

The export contains 1,117 format declarations across 5 normalized labels.

These are catalogue declarations. This report does not verify every file or service response.

Compare the resource structure

This entry has 18.62 listed format declarations per dataset.

The median among 29 listed publishers in Uruguay is 4.79.

The entry records 2.2% of the datasets in the saved national portal export.

Multiple resources can indicate file versions, geographic parts, or alternative formats. A larger ratio does not prove better data.

The export retains up to 20 format labels per publisher. It excludes empty labels and some small publishers.

Check the two source counters

The dataset metadata declares 1,096 resources. The format table contains 1,117 declarations.

These totals differ. The metadata counter and the format table use separate source fields.

The percentages in this report use the listed format declarations as their denominator.

The export does not establish a verified count of unique, accessible files.

Interpret the metadata dates

The stored sample contains 60 dataset titles. 60 have a recorded modification date.

Those dates range from 2022-06-17 to 2026-08-14.

A catalogue edit can change the modification date without a change to the observations.

The sample can omit older records. It does not establish a publication rate or a complete historical series.

Compare the observation period on the source page before you describe a trend.

Checks for JSON

  1. Inspect the top-level object or array.
  2. Identify the array that contains the data records.
  3. Keep absent fields separate from explicit null values.
  4. Check whether the source supplies pagination links.
  5. Preserve identifier strings when you flatten nested objects.

Plan access to the data

JSON stores objects, arrays, and values. A JSON file can contain nested records.

  1. Open the government source portal.
  2. Find the required dataset with its exact catalogue title.
  3. Confirm the observation period and geographic coverage.
  4. Read the licence for that dataset.
  5. Choose a file format that preserves the required fields.
  6. Record the source URL and access date.

What the evidence supports

The format table identifies the main access methods in the saved catalogue.

The declaration ratio describes the structure of the saved catalogue records.

Neither measure establishes the accuracy, completeness, or current availability of the underlying observations.

Use a second dated catalogue export before any claim that publication volume increased or decreased.
